Asked if the issue of ban on Sikh turbans in French public

schools will be raised during Hollande's visit, Ghanashyam said both countries are in dialogue. She pointed out that a French team was in town recently to prepare for the visit. "We are in dialogue with the French government which is also in dialogue with the leaders of the Sikh groups in France," she said. Official sources later said that the turban issue might be raised during the official-level talks between the two sides.
